April
??.................... Felt the Easy Way
Penny has always liked felting but considered the process rather
long and tedious, never knowing whether your fancy yarn was
staying in place or moving around or just not felting at all.
After a taking a workshop in Mesa with the Telerana Weavers
Guild, Penny found felting is fun so she will share the technique
with us. MORE INFO will be posted later
